As far as I am aware, no version of MAS (including v4.5) allows "annual reset" on Cafeteria Plan deduction codes.
This is causing problems for clients who process their own payroll and offer a Cafeteria Plan benefit to their employees. Some employees want an annual limit on the deduction for this benefit, while other employees do not. There should be a check box in Deduction Code Maintenance for Cafeteria Plan deduction codes (like there is for Pension Plan deduction codes) that allow you to setup Cafeteria deduction codes with an annual limit.
This would make payroll administration more efficient and give added flexibility to payroll setups and make MAS payroll a more attractive payroll package.

If some employees want a limit and others don't, why not use the "Goal" field in each employee's maintenance file? That would stop the deduction when it reached that target? It would also allow for different preferences by employees.
This was included in the Sage 100 Payroll release 2.22.3
